Miss Planeswalker, are you free for romance?

Aoi Tojo has met Usami Reiko several times, including with Kenichi Yoshino and Takashi Sakai.

These ritualists who often worked outside were accustomed to cooperating with the Tojo family. After a few visits, with the introduction of Kenichi Yoshino, the two women, who had a certain age gap, began to have private contact.

——This connection intensified after Yoshino Ken's death in the war.

"You don't understand." Usami Reiko stroked the calluses on her knuckles, which were caused by years of feeding bullets one after another. "He didn't even leave a complete corpse. What did those pigs say?"

"They said, 'We are deeply sorry'?"

The woman's eyebrows stood up, and her already sharp voice became even harsher: "And there is "Judgment"! I won't let them go..."

Tojo Aoi wrinkled her nose. When it came to trial, the topic became even more serious.

"If I were you, I wouldn't confront him head-on." The little princess of the Tojo family advised half-seriously, "What are your plans?"

Usami Reiko didn't appreciate it and scratched the glass window with her long nails.

After a while, he changed his sharp tone and looked at Tojo Aoi with gloomy eyes: "... Before coming here, I specially investigated the relationship between you and your father."

She emphasized the word "special" and ignored the increasingly flat corners of Tojo Aoi's mouth.

"Interesting past, isn't it?"

"your mother……"

"Ms. Usami."

Tojo Aoi's head turned around in an instant like a puppet: "You don't have that many chips, you are not Bai Ju. In fact, you are not even the "origin". Is it okay to offend me like this? Besides, why should I cooperate with a worthless person?"

Usami Reiko chuckled: "If I were Bai Ju, a "Judgment" level ritualist, I would not cooperate with the Tojo family."

"Tell me, what can I get?"

Getting down to business, the conversation between the two became much more relaxed than before.

"A promise, within my ability. You shouldn't need money, right? So, is it Bai Ju's life? Or... those pigs'?"

Usami Reiko stared at Tojo Aoi without saying anything.

"Oh, you want the 'Resurrection Ceremony'?"

"I got it right?"

Tojo Aoi was a little bit unbelievable at first, and then laughed dumbly: "Don't dream, Miss Lingzi. Whether it is Order or Chaos, it will not allow you to resurrect a human so easily."

"I don't think that Kenichi Yoshino is still himself after his resurrection."

Usami Reiko fretted over the leather seat cover, her long nails turning white.

"That's my own business. Do you agree? I've been in the logistics department for so many years, and I know a lot of secrets and information about the ritual center."

Before the negotiation, it is important to fully understand the other party's identity information. Even ordinary people know this.

The organization that Usami Reiko belongs to is already in the shadows. Through her developed network of contacts, the woman easily obtained detailed information about Tojo Aoi.

Although some extremely secret places cannot be found, we can still get a general understanding of the little princess of the Tojo family through inference.

——The Chaos Ritualist can detect whether the other party is lying through physical contact; but the price is high, if one's lie is discovered, then... death?

Not long ago, he entered the Tojo family system and began to quickly take over his father's business, swallowing up a large amount of it.

...What is your purpose?

Aoi Tojo.

"It's just that the Tojo family will pay a heavy price, I hope you can accept it."

Even if a giant accidentally stumbled, there would be swarms of bloodthirsty creatures rushing over to bite him. Moreover, this stumble was intentional on the part of the owner.

"I want all the records about 'mystery' in the ritual center. From the 'Whisper of Chaos' era ten years ago to the 'Mysterious Revival' a year and a half ago." Tojo Aoi put forward the conditions.

Usami Reiko nodded, "No problem, then, wait for me..."

"Once everything is over, I will use my authority as the ruler to help you complete the ritual. But have you really found a ritual that can revive people?"

Tojo Aoi was a little surprised.

She was well-informed, and she only heard about the appearance of a "special item" - the world began to change, and in addition to the ritualist, the first special item that could use extraordinary powers appeared.

But the resurrection ceremony... is ridiculous.

People cannot come back to life after death.

"Special items?" Usami Reiko smiled. "The authorities only got it last week, and you know about it so quickly?"

"Yes, the name is "Secret Ceremony". As a price, Order devoured three "Origin" level ritualists in the rapid reaction force."

"You see, this is what happens when you are led by a group of pigs."

Usami Reiko sneered, disdaining the organization she was in: "Who are we working for and serving?"

Tojo Aoi didn't bother to pay attention to the woman's complaints. Instead, she was very curious about that special item.

"What is it like? Like a ritualist, with its own abilities?"

Usami Reiko wasn't quite sure either. Although she was the head of the logistics department, her status didn't allow her to know about matters of this level of confidentiality.

"I just heard that an organization came from New York and held a large-scale order-coming ceremony with our ritualists. This special item is likely to be the first item in the world that carries mysterious power."

"Organization..." Tojo Aoi pondered the meaning of the sentence. She keenly sensed something strange: "Not official?"

"Do not."

Seems to be……

Usami Reiko recalled.

"It seems to be a well-known pharmaceutical giant that has been committed to researching and improving human genes for many years... Oh, it's a mess, I don't understand it, that's the academic school's business." She smiled bitterly and drew a polygon on the glass: "It's probably this symbol."

Aoi Tojo blurted out a string of English words.

"Yeah." Usami Reiko nodded, "Their company's logo design is very interesting."

This company happened to be one of the Tojo family's future cooperative companies, and the employees had made full preparations for this.

Aoi Tojo is too familiar.

However, for some reason, she always felt that the company was a little strange, and as a result, those people did not leave a good impression on Tojo Aoi.

Although the other party's preliminary work was very complete and the process was also the standardized process of a world-class company.

Can…

Whether it was the logo that Usami Reiko praised, or the person in charge who came to the Tojo Group for negotiation...

It all gives people a creepy feeling.

That was a warning from the mystery that filled her body at all times.

Tojo Aoi blinked and swallowed the words of reminder that were about to come out of her mouth - it was just such a 'small' level of cooperation, she had no obligation to remind Usami Reiko anything.

Besides, the other party probably knows that he has no way out.

Tojo Aoi looked at the short-haired woman who was in a daze.

——She is in an important position and can easily find those secret and precious records. Just think about it, no matter how stupid the higher-ups are, they will not let her leave the ritual place safely. Moreover, until today, with the power of the Tojo family, no one has heard of any ritualist who has the ability to erase memories or contracts...

In this case…

Usami Reiko turned her head and seemed to see through what Tojo Aoi had not finished saying.

She grinned nonchalantly: "Oh, I don't care anymore. I'm different from you. I've already stepped half a foot into the abyss."

"You still have a future and someone who loves you. Maybe...right?"

Tojo Aoi glanced at her.

"So, don't let the rage of revenge fill your heart."

Tojo Aoi sneered and ignored her false kindness.

No one can persuade anyone else.

Chapter 8 Old Times

Aoi Tojo doesn't have a very deep impression of her mother.

People always have a clear understanding of a certain node in their memory, but are vague about the entire memory.

This is normal behavior.

For example, some people never remember who they spent the night with last night, whether the girl had long or short hair, or whether she had double eyelids or single eyelids.

I can't even remember what she was wearing.

But the man who wakes up can definitely remember whether the other person gave him a good experience and whether she is a desert or the Atlantic Ocean.

This is the key memory.

Of course, he could have remembered it completely wrong.

For example, could the other person also be a man?

Tojo Aoi's key memory...To be honest, her impression of her mother is indeed vague.

The only thing that was clear was that scene.

The look of the mother without front teeth grinning at herself.

It sounds funny, and actually...it is funny.

My father was a cold man to begin with, so naturally my mother became more and more timid. Many times, when she could take a step forward, she would rather step back submissively.

Then, there were those chaotic sounds.

My father was 'fortunate' enough to hear the whispers long before he mysteriously revived.

He recorded and experimented fanatically - you couldn't say he was crazy, because a crazy person would never be able to handle the company's affairs calmly and thus cleverly hide those experiments under the huge iceberg of the Tojo Group.

This is how Tojo Aoi has always viewed chaos. It won't drive you crazy, but it will tempt you to go crazy.

People always have obsessions.

Aoi Tojo has no idea what her father's obsession is, but it's not her or her mother.

Later, blood relatives were sacrificed.

The mother was firmly opposed to her father's sacrifice of her. During the argument, she knocked out all her teeth with a hammer, smashed an eyeball, and cut off her nose with a dagger.

Finally, he used a sharp, short blade to cut the artery in his neck, and blood spurted far away.

——Just like the old house where she lived at that time, not only did it have many servants, but the fountain in the garden that almost never stopped running all year round was also very popular with young girls.

——Of course, after seeing the real throat cut, Tojo Aoi never went to the garden to see the fountain again. A few years later, she moved out.

"Chenzhu, look, I'm dying."

"[Blood relative after abuse], just use me, okay?"

"Promise me, let Aoi go!"

'She's still so young!'

The crazy father dragged his mother to the altar with red eyes. The long trail of blood started in front of his toes and went to the end of his sight.

In the following years, my father would occasionally show a look of guilt, but it would disappear in the blink of an eye.

But Aoi Tojo doesn't care about these.

And then, it was...Mori Yuesha.

That crazy yet charming woman.

For some reason, every time she thought of her former lover, Tojo Aoi felt a sense of hunger and insatiable attachment.

She never told anyone: If she talked frankly with any man who had some emotional experience, the girl could easily solve the doubts and find the answer.

——The so-called "hunger", "unasatisfied attachment" and other literary embellishments can all be explained in one word or phrase.

Greedy.

Well.
